So we've been out and about trying to find something else. We started by going to Burlington Coat Factory's Baby Depot, but weren't impressed at all with anything there. Then we drove to a place in Simi Valley called Cribs 2 Teens. They had a TON of good quality stuff. They're in the process of adding on to their store. As soon as they're done, they'll be the biggest baby store on the west coast!
The owner, Larry, (who personally knows the author of Baby Bargains, the industry's baby equipment equivalent to Consumer Reports), has decided to stop carrying the Baby's Dream line because of their long, unpredictable shipping times, even though the quality is excellent. So, he happened to have the exact crib and the three-drawer changing table flip dresser in stock in the correct color. (When you're done using the changer, the unit flips over to be a dresser.) We said we weren't planning to buy the changer (which retailed for $550 at the other store), because "we're poor!" So the owner, Larry, said, "Well, if you buy the crib, I'll just give you the changer/dresser, because it does me no good by itself since it's the last of that line I have in the store." RAH! So, we bought it, and it'll be delivered and set up sometime this week. Exciting!
Here's the set, though ours is in a slightly lighter brown color. Pretty, huh?
The store is having a tent sale next weekend, so we'll probably go back to see if there's anything else we want sooner than later. We like the store and owners so well that whatever we don't receive as gifts from our registries at Babies R Us, JCPenney and Target, we'll go back and buy from Cribs 2 Teens.Speaking of registries, I need to go back and make some revisions before our first shower next month!
